The quote routers are programs
included with SSChart that interface realtime data sources to
SSChart. They also allow you to connect up to four computers
on a LAN each running a copy of SSChart which will get their
data from the one machine running the quote router. This is done
so you can have a cluster of machines to get more screen space.
They will function for free during the trial period (but you
still need an account with the data provider). After the trial
period they are available for a ($10 - $15 a month lease (in
addition to the fees you pay the data provider and exchanges).
Note: In
order to use the quote routers, both the router and SSChart must
be running on either Windows NT, 2000, or XP. You will need the router program to get data from
the following sources, even if using only one computer. There
are currently two quote routers available:

SSQRouterIB
Router for Interactive Brokers

The external router program for
IB, is now discontinued. Instead the program now has a built
in socket connection to TWS, providing a more robust connection.
(The "router lease" is still require for operation
after the trial expires. This is just our way of pricing the
increase work of supporting features associated with this into
the product. Not everyone that uses the program, makes use of
real-time streaming data connection, therefore they have a purchase
option where they do not need to pay for this feature).

Uses TWS API (Trader Work Station)
of your Interactive Brokers account to get data.
No historic update is available with this source, but realtime
intraday charts of stocks, futures, and options, can be generated
and saved as long as you are running and collecting quotes during
market hours. You also get a time and sales display. There is
currently a limitation of 40 symbols at one time that you can
monitor. This is a TWS interface limitation not an SSChart limitation.
See specific usage instructions here.

SSQRouterMT Router for Track Data's myTrack

This interfaces to the Track
Data "myTrack" data source. You must add the "SDK"
entitlement to your myTrack
account to enable the quote router.

Additional SSChart features available
with myTrack account include: live intraday charting, historic
update of intraday charts, time&sales display, and (ECN)
orderbook and level II if you have these features enabled in
your account. See specific usage instructions here.

Note: myTrack does not charge
for the SDK entitlement (needed for the router to get data) for
the first 30 days. You can try their service for as little as
$5 for the first month if you only want to access delayed data.
This will still give you the ability to backfill intraday charts.
